The courtesy and consideration that
the women in the South receive COM
pared with the neglect shown them by
men in the North rs as conspicuous as
IL IL beautiful. l refer TO everyday
street-car life.
Every time go North ! notice more
the difference between the manners OF
the two sections. The average New
Yorker or Philadelphian isn't willing 10
stop reading his mornings paper long
enough 10 pass up the fare of lady,
much less sacrifice to her the seat he
occupies in crowded street-car. The
Richmonder who wonld thus deport
himself, IL any such could be found,
would deserve 10 have his head
punched.
A lady, however, should give these
little kindnesses some recognition. A
slight bow OF murmured "Thank you y
"a not amiss. One or the other is often
given but not always.
I'VE come into the world like brother and
brother.
And now let's go hand in hand, not one before
the other"

The Theatre will be packed Wednes-
day evening, when Robson and Crane,
the renowned comedians, begin their
engagement 10y presenting Shakespeare
COMEDY of Errors" From what j
hear the piece will be put on in fine
style and with splendid scenical effects.
OF Robson and Crane it il unnecessary
10 speak. Their reputation rs first

need any commentary at my hands.

"Nobody's Claim and &" Never Say

The New York pier scene in the latter
was well arranged, with the mastheads,

from behind the scenes, one could al

City.
Imagine how a headless elephant stand
inc on all four feet would look. So the
new Moore-Memorial church in its pres
ent state appears to me. According TO
the plan adopted the building is to have
a large front and tall steeple, some

erected, and the front part of it Is
